Sounds LikeThe relentlessly driving force behind Hauk is its frontman, who goes by the same name. Drawing on lengthy and far-ranging musical experience, and taking dictation from Odin himself, Hauk writes songs that are deeply spiritual and unique in their genre-defying vision. The rest of the band complement and further this vision. Hauk and drummer Chris Dooly first played together in the folk-metal band Mythreal. Dooly’s intense, tribal drumming has become a trademark of the Hauk sound. Canadian pianist Duke Dubeau, nephew of virtuoso violinist Angele Dubeau brings a majestic keyboard sound reminiscent of great Russian composers like Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff while maintaining a rock sensibility. Boyd Ervin, the latest addition to the band, adds bass to the band’s foundation as well as the soaring lead guitar that provides a spiritual uplift to Hauk’s sound.

Heathen Metal band Hauk and Baldur Rising Music will celebrate the release of their newest recording, No Mercy for the Slain at the Steel Pit in Tujunga on Saturday, February 2 at 9 pm. Hauk seamlessly combines elements as seemingly disparate as Irish folk, classical and thrash metal music, looking to Odin for inspiration and guidance. With the intensity of shamans preaching that Ragnarok is about to hit, they’ll celebrate their new album with a night of music that will take no prisoners and show no mercy!

No Mercy for the Slain was produced by Gavin Ross, Techno, and the band’s frontman, also named Hauk. The album features a stunning array of artists from all walks of the musical world, including drummer Rhino, a member of Holy Hell and formerly of the legendary metal band Manowar, who contributes to “Baldur Rising;” and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s Allan Vogel – commonly acknowledged to be the world’s best oboist – who lends his talent to “Rage for a Dying World.” The album deals mainly with the confrontation and defiance of death – both human and of the world itself. Odinic, howling vocals combine with relentlessly thrashing guitar, tribal drumming and sweeping orchestral sound, resulting in more of a spiritual journey than a mere album. With No Mercy for the Slain, Hauk has embraced death, shrugged off fear, and has its blades sharpened.

“A lot of the songs on the album are about trying to see outside this world, kind of like Jim Morrison’s – except we didn’t just break on through to the other side, we broke on through, established a beach-head, conquered territory, and claimed it for Odin!” says frontman Hauk. He says that many of the songs are “shamanic” - prophetic in nature, like apocalyptic visions. But while seemingly dark, the songs can also be uplifting. The title track’s encouragement to “die fighting, fight and ye shall rise again” is not as much about violence and death as it is a message to “make the most of the time you have – if you hide in a hole, you’ll waste your time, and not live any longer or gain anything by it.”

Happy Independence Day!
Once a sailor from HMS Campbell asked me whether we were sore about the Revolution.
To which I replied, "Why? We won.

Actually, you were dancing with me, and you let go of me a little too soon (in my drunken state, otherwise it was right on time)... next thing I know, I am staring at empty beer bottles at the bottom of the trash can :))))) You were right behind me, laughing at me! :) Drunkard! :)

You don't remember me slipping and taking a dive into the trash can? :)) )

Well, although I was very drunk, I only remember one Hauk, not two... and then a giant trash can!!! Don't worry, it was empty :) In case you're wondering, that was at Pagan Fest.

Hey Hauk,
It was good meeting you at the SESAC event. I would definitely be interested in setting up some shows. I am in NY until next week, then back to LA. I am available to do some shows until mid august when I come back to NY for some shows. Dig your songs and your passion.
Thanks, Michael

Hail Hauk!

Busy is good! :) It's been the same here in the far north. We only have so much of the summer season to get everything done before winter sets in again. We have two seasons here...winter, and getting ready for winter.

Take care! I hope you have a fun weekend!

Frith!
